Neither: there just isn't a SMF service for xdm. This is a known issue:
6208536 SMF service manifest for xdm should be provided
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6208536
I've created one myself, based on the cde-login service (not in
OpenSolaris, but in SX:CE up to build 130), which is simpler than gdm
and far closer to xdm (probably of common heritage).
I don't know how far Alan Coopersmith, the responsible engineer for that
CR, is with a putback. If desired, I could ask for a sponsor for the
service I have.

Indeed: gdm is a moloch ;-(
